SUSTAINABILITY AT TROPIFLORA

„Only in the long term will the soil reveal its secrets“

EXPERIENCE AND INNOVATION: Adept gardeners with as many as 50 years track record in growing, perfecting their craft in employing traditional and modern production techniques.

EDUCATION: Tropiflora’s Management joins Agronomists, Soil Scientists and Horticulturists. Regular Training and Awareness pro-grams are essential to pass on knowledge and develop young talents.

WATER MANAGEMENT: At Tropiflora water, as the source of all life, is preserved by water tanks, yielded by tube and dug wells, saved by drip irri-gation. We try to save as much as possible of the precious and cool wet.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT: It is a fact that every application of synthetic pesticides slows down the growth rate of plants considerably. Where others spray, our smart strategies can even involve the collection of larger insects with big damaging potential. At Tropiflora we use mainly organic agents such as garlic, neem and soaps with great success. These natural products do not harm beneficial organisms with big appetite for the targeted pests.

SOIL MANAGEMENT: A large compost yard and soil mixture facility, fueled by the bio-waste from the packing hall, enables us to nourish our plants mainly by application of organic material. Trichoderma strenghtens our plants and increases their nutrient absorp-tion. For more complex problems such as weeds and nemath-odes we use handwork or steam as weapons of choice instead of chemicals.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: Tropiflora’s own lab is equipped with photometer, lysimeter, microscope, stereo microscope, ph and ec field meters and weather stations, which allow us to resolve problems with a scientifical approach. In the past years many students have been attracted to do their thesis by this spirit and top notch equipment.

RESIDUES: Regularly conducted residue analysis confirm that our greens are free of the common problematic red flagged agents, such as Acephate and Neonicotinoids

„A grower is measured by his ability to make himself nature’s friend“
